DURHAM, N.C.-Thirteen of Duke's varsity athletic teams were honored by the NCAA for placing among the top 10 percent in their respective sports nationally in the latest multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) report.

The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. For those sports that did not offer athletic scholarships at Duke, the APR cohort included all recruited student-athletes. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance for a particular academic year.
